*Update* Paul Paliath from Techie Buzz – He has a statement from Webhallen that the prices are incorrect and merely placeholder for future orders. :-
“Our customers are very interested in pre-ordering these products, so we have set a high preliminary pricing for the line-up so that they may be able to pre-order them.
Just to clarify, we have not received any pricing from Microsoft regarding MRSP or purchasing net cost, and any people who have booked the Surface at this high price will of course have their order adjusted before any product is shipped. So we’re not going to overcharge anyone for being an early adopter.”
I’m more than happy we can put that shocker to rest, we await the real price from Microsoft.

ARM-based ones probably will be more inline with iPads, though keep in mind that Microsoft’s tablet strategy isn’t exactly the same as what Apple and Google have been doing.
